do people even go on dates anymore?
is it really a thing people still do?
yeah I'll go hang out with a guy,
but when does hanging out cross over into the date territory?
everyone is all about "Netflix and chilling"
what happened to going out to see a movie?
telling a guy about yourself is possibly the worst part
you feel like you're handing him an enormously long book
they are willingly taking part in reading it
but they start to instantly regret it as they do
often finding themselves getting bored
or growing tired of the content.
now, this isnt the case with all of them,
just most of them.
maybe one day there will be one
that doesn't start the conversation off with
"that *** is lookin' great"
maybe one day there will be one
that doesn't invite me over only at times that are
far too late
maybe one day there will be one
that wants to ask me
on a date.

maybe
this time
you can take
the heat.

actually,
probably not,
prepare for
defeat.

if my brilliant mind
is not enough for you,
than you are simply
not worth impressing.

soft grip of her waist

lips close to her ear

she knows you’ll say

exactly

what she wants to hear

my feelings are so deep,
so strong
for you.
your feelings are so weak,
it feels wrong
with you.
I turn the other cheek,
I spent so long
on you.
my heart,
once warm, now bleak
no longer belongs
to you.
